Before you begin
RIP
• In [Media Characteristics], set automatic advance correction (AAC) to [Enhanced] to achieve an
optimal x-registration.
AAC prints yellow or black markers on the media that the printer uses as guidance to optimize
the media step accuracy. See "Change the media settings" in the operation guide.
• In [Placement strategy]→[General], make sure that the left and right are identical.
• In [Placement strategy]→[Options], make sure that the space between copies values are 0.
Printer
• Use the tension bar (locked).
In case the media is normally (single-sided) printed without tension bar, switch to the locked
tension bar mode.
You can change this tension bar setting for the media type in the RIP. Change from [No tension
bar] to [Locked tension bar].
• Use a matte print mode, preferably the same mode for both sides.
• Do not enable automatic media advance or moist sensitivity settings.
• If necessary calibrate the media.
Tools
• A media suitable for double sided printing.
• 2 empty cores with the same width as the media you want to use.
• A roll of tape.
